A new study from University of Arizona researchers has found there could be a tie between exposure to PFAS and chronic health conditions in firefighters.
The researchers wanted to study how PFAS affects micro-RNA, which helps control how parts of your DNA are expressed. Disruptions to micro-RNA are linked to health conditions like cancer and autoimmune disorders.
The study found that certain levels of PFAS in the group of firefighters were associated with some changes to micro-RNA linked to those health problems…
